![]() ![]() ![]() Space them out with two hexes between them to carve out a large territory for yourself. Play your first city, receiving your 3 MCR bonus. Save only six cards or less, so that you start with at least 22 MCR. Commerical district can also be nice to get when you’re playing with the Corporate Era.Īnd if you’re placing your cities on tiles with plant bonuses, you’ll get greenery tiles, while if you place them on steel or titanium, you’ll get more card plays–make sure they’re strategic.īest opening move for Tharsis Republic. That said, if you get the city cards, play them–especially the ones with the VP bonuses. So there is absolutely no reason to wait for those uncommon city cards–which also usually cost energy to play, so that they end up being way more expensive than standard project cities (see my previous post, “Thoughts on Terraforming Mars “). Remember that every time you play a city as a standard project you get 3 MCR back due to your ability, and a +TWO MCR production boost (one for the standard +1 MCR production boost for playing a city as a standard project, and +1 for Tharsis Republic’s second special ability). If other players are not playing cities because they don’t want you to have too much MCR production in the early and mid-game, then YOU throw down as many cities as you can, until they get scared into producting them, for fear of losing spots on the board (only about 13-18 in a game, depending on the board and certain cards that allow adjacent cities). ![]() While Tharsis Republic is a card that players should definitely play to its strengths, players often forget just what that is: CITIES. As Tharsis Republic gets lost in its off-board game of stockpiling cards, another player can easily take a strategic win. Tharsis Republic often forgets that the game is about victory points, and not MCR. Every player that chooses Tharsis Republic gets so invested in their money game that they play about a dozen cards or more that didn’t give them very much in game benefits, simply because they had the money to do so. That said, Tharsis Republic has a massive disadvantage: ego. (Aphrodite will get 30 MCR for all 15 steps on the Venus track, and Interplanetary Cinematics will probably get less than that for its event cards, compared to a free city (25), 3 MCR back for placing it, and a +1 MCR production worth 10 or more depending on the number of generations). When you consider that two of the weaker cards, Interplanetary Cinematics and Aphrodite, have a game length benefit worth less than what Tharsis Republic gets IN ITS FIRST TURN, you know that this is the corporation of choice. Tharsis Republic is one of the two most powerful cards in the game, and it is the card with the most hubris (see “ Terraforming Mars : Hubris in TM and Winning with Inventrix,” which lies about halfway down in my previous Game Night column), bar none. Additionally, we have not played Venus Next nearly as many times as the basic game with and withour corporate era, so my notes on Venus Next are sparser. In Venus Next, I have played Manutech and Celestic only, but have observed the others in play. I still have not played Thorsgate or Interplanetary Cinematics in the starting set, so my recommendations for those corporations are from observing other players. Here are some strategic notes to playing each Terraforming Mars corporation, with Venus Next corporations included, but not Prelude, which I only received today. As I mentioned in a previous post, “ Thoughts on Terraforming Mars,” each Terraforming Mars corporation is so distinct that you could play each corporation as if it was a different game, using their special ability as an overarching rule to govern your decisions from generation to generation. ![]()

![]() Millumin’s output is highly configurable, with four standard presets and “custom” options, along with options for Multi-screen, Soft-edge and Transform. To sync multiple machines, you can use SimpleSync, another great mini-app that goes along with the main application, and Syphon is supported as well. Millumin interacts with OSC, MIDI, Art-Net, along with a plug-in called MilluPlug, which furthers Millumin’s extensibility into DMX and Arduino. As far as layer control, using keyframes, you can control things like opacity, position, and scale if needed. For instance, you can create a composition with cue points, then embed it into the Dashboard and play back from there. Compositions can be put into the Dashboard, and vice-versa, to further enhance playback. In addition to keyframes, it features “cue points” and the option to “pause on cue points” - incredibly handy. The Composition tab allows for media to be arranged in a timeline format. (I kept wishing for a simple “minus” (-) button next to the active layer.) To delete Layers, you’ll need to use a keyboard shortcut or select it from the menu at the top. I found this feature to be really handy to create PIP effects that could simply be turned on or off (or faded, if need be). There is also a “Continuation” feature of the grid to allow multiple layers to continue playing back. The Dashboard allows arrangement of media in a column layout familiar to anyone using any type of VJ playback system. The real workhorse of Millumin is down below - the Dashboard and Composition tabs. It can do these things with buttons across the top - they’re there if you need them, but not in the way if you don’t. It comes complete with a Mapping Tool (Warp-enabled, both Rigid and Bezier), a Mask tool and a Quartz Layer tool. The Work Surface is where you manipulate your output. It’s also where you manage your inputs (should you have any). The Library Bin is where you drag and store all of your files - videos, images, etc. You get a Library Bin, a Work Surface (that mirrors output) with two areas to manipulate the properties of that surface and a Timeline of sorts at the bottom. Millumin’s interface is sparse and simple. As I stated earlier, it’s the playback that I’m most interested in. In fact, Millumin has an After Effects plug-in which allows you to see projection-mapping output live from that app… but I digress. There are plenty of high-powered apps to do that. It is not, however, a content creation tool. Millumin bills itself as a tool to “create and perform audiovisual shows,” and it excels in this respect. ![]() As a believer in using the right tool for the right job, I was pleased to try out Millumin on a recent gig. But as app designers pack more of these advances into their software bundles, users are yearning for an easy way to arrange and play back some simple files. Warping, mapping and multiple layer playback, exotic even a few years ago, are fairly commonplace. I've tried programming this in timeline and dashboard and can't seem to get a good smooth playback.The recent video boom has spawned a number of applications that allow you to do pretty much anything with anything. As in, pause two layers and play the other one. I've found that playback drops to 6-8fps when playing 3 layers together and key framing speed. ![]() ![]() I'll probably be removing most once we're set.

Using a Roland RE-501 jazz chorus amp and a RAT distortion pedal, he created echo effects and delays that would help define the band’s sound and set it apart from other synth bands of the era. On the gorgeous “Space Age Love Song,” for example, Score gamely affords them vast planes of sound against which Reynolds can orient the listener, punctuating the backdrop like a blinking radio tower. They are urgent and pleading like SOS calls. Reynolds’ riffs shoot up like rescue flares. One can hear a bit of its maritime influence in the band’s patterns, that is if sea ships were spaceships and the ocean were the whole of the night sky. The Seagulls, which also included drummer Ali Score and bass player Frank Maudsley, hailed from the famed seaport city of Liverpool. ![]() Their signature song, “I Ran,” which Score played using a Korg MS-10 keyboard setup, makes that fabled “final frontier” sound like the wild west, a ray gun shootout between man and Martian. ![]() “Nightmares,” one of many songs that fall under the band’s theme of alien abduction, is haunting and sparse and features an echoing wail that sounds like it’s coming from light years away. “Transfer Affection” a sweet and gentle ballad, sounds like another being mimicking human emotions and the speech patterns with which to express them. Their bouncy first hit single was the aptly titled “Telecommunication,” the verses of which sound, between jubilant choruses, like an intrepid astronaut transmitting observations from a new dimension back to a space hub. His earthly counterpart, wunderkind Paul Reynolds, did, in fact, strum his Kramer XL-5 with an old penny, and though he remained less visible behind his oversized sunglasses, was the band’s beating heart. Lead singer Mike Score, sporting a “waterfall” hairdo, playing his Roland Jupiter 8 synth, singing staccato lines in a robotic monotone, was truly an alien presence. They’d listened as Bowie asked, “Is there life on Mars?” A Flock of Seagulls’ answer was, “Yes. And in Britain, a new wave of bands armed with synthesizers were beckoning the future in their own way. NASA began launching its fleet of shuttles to explore the infinite. Armageddon felt imminent with the threat of nuclear war between the US and the Soviet Union hanging in the air. In the early 1980s, the future had never seemed so near. This is the sound of A Flock of Seagulls. An alien intercepts them and signals back. A young boy sends signals out into space using an old penny and some string. ![]() ![]() ![]() Still, one also learned how to maintain some distance from all of the theorists, especially those who claimed unique access to truth. The Freudians, as you might surmise, would notice a whole different set of motifs.īecause Austen herself was very interested in capitalism, patriarchy, and psychology-though she wouldn’t have used any of those terms-these varied ways of reading could reveal new aspects to the story. When a feminist reads the same book, she might discover that patriarchal attitudes toward women, who are judged and valued for their marriageability, shape the lives of the characters too. When a Marxist reads Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, for example, he might become interested in the way in which wealth, power, and the determination to have both shapes the lives of all of the characters. I learned, among other things, that one can read the same text from multiple points of view and therefore see different themes in it. We suffered through a lot of turgid academic writing, but the class had its uses. But we also read Freudians, Marxists, feminists, and others. This was the heyday of deconstructionism-essentially a form of highly pretentious close reading, imported from France-and so we read quite a few texts looking for things that interested deconstructionists. This course-Lit 130, if memory serves-offered prospective scholars a series of frames and theories that could be applied to the reading of books. Tucker Carlson, Fox News television host, describing Milleyīack in the 1980s, comparative-literature majors at my university had to take a required course in literary theory. ![]() ![]() ![]() Grievous hated Nute Gunray for thinking of him as nothing but a servant droid, which enraged him to no end and saw the viceroy and the other Separatist leaders as greedy weaklings. He appeared to care for his pet Gor as when he realized that Kit Fisto and Nahdar Vebb killed him he was enraged and smashed his control room with his fists. However, despite his villainy, Grievous also has minor redeeming qualities (at least in the Legends continuity), caring for his people and Kummar. This is shown when he fought Obi-Wan despite the fact that he was still weak from a crippling blow inflicted by Mace Windu, showing a mild form of recklessness. Despite this, he is also quite indefatigable and relentless he is totally determined to destroy the Jedi, and will sometimes fight them even when he is in a bad condition. He is also shown to be very arrogant and manipulative, but also has a somewhat cowardly and pusillanimous side he tends to flee when the tide is against him. Grievous is also known and feared for his cruelty and brutality. Grievous has no problem with sacrificing others for himself and often exploits the Jedi's compassion for their soldiers. He also began comparing himself to the Jedi and became determined to be able to match them, leading to him doing anything in his power to improve himself. His shuttle crash left him with a sense of bitterness for being cheated on a warrior's death and though he chose to become a cyborg, believing that flesh was weak, Grievous is secretly ashamed of his new form. General Grievous is a cold, ruthless and treacherous individual who shows no mercy to any enemy, even when he was a Kaleesh. ![]() He serves as the secondary antagonist of the 2003 micro-series Star Wars: Clone Wars (serving as the final antagonist of Season 2 and the central antagonist of Season 3), Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and the 2008-2020 TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (serving as the secondary antagonist of the first three seasons, a major antagonist in both Seasons 4 and 5, and a background antagonist in both Seasons 6 and 7), and a posthumous antagonist in both the 2021 Disney+ animated streaming series Star Wars: The Bad Batch and the 2019 video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
